The cost for each pound of trail mix and each pound of jelly is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t = cost/pound of trail mix

Let j = cost/pound of jelly beans

5t + 6j = 35

3t + 2j = 15  =  > 2j = 15 - 3t

5t + 3(15 - 3t) = 35

5t + 45 - 9t = 35

- 4t + 45 = 35

- 4t  =  - 10

4t = 10

t = 2.5

3(2.5) + 2j = 15

7.5 + 2j = 15

2j = 7.5

j = 3.75

Hello! How do I find the surface area of this prism? Thanks!
Studentka2010 [4]
Answer: Choice C) 124 square cm

------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation:

Let's calculate the area of the trapezoid shown
b1 and b2 are the parallel bases; h is the height of the 2D trapezoid
b1 = 2
b2 = 5
h = 1.5

A = h*(b1+b2)/2
A = 1.5*(2+5)/2
A = 1.5*7/2
A = 10.5/2
A = 5.25
The area of one 2D trapezoid is 5.25 sq cm
There are two of these trapezoids that form the base faces of the trapezoidal prism. So the total base area is 2*5.25 = 10.5 sq cm
Keep this value (10.5) in mind. We'll use it later.

------------

Now onto the lateral surface area (LSA)
It turns out that the formula for the LSA is
LSA = p*d
where 
p = perimeter of the trapezoid shown
d = depth or height of the 3D trapezoid (I'm not using h as it was used earlier)
This formula works for any polygonal base. It doesn't have to be a trapezoid.

In this case the perimeter is,
p = 1.7+2+2.65+5
p = 11.35

So
LSA = p*d
LSA = 11.35*10
LSA = 113.5

Add this LSA to the base area found earlier
10.5+113.5 = 124

The total surface area is 124 square cm

If both the length and width of a rectangle are doubled, how is the area of the rectangle changed?
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

B) The area is four times larger

Step-by-step explanation:

A=LW

2*2*A=2L2W

4A=2L2W

Therefore, the area is four times larger
